World Events

Current World Events

We have identified some key pointers to what is happening in our world today,

Watching these pointers we can see how we are in the period approaching the 'end of our times'

this is referred to by Yeshua the Messiah of the Nation of Israel;

"see to it that you don't become frightened... all these things are but the beginning of the birth-pains"

MATT 24:6b, 7-8, LUKE 21:10-11.

These provide a 'thermometer' 'with some key examples from each group

and we can see how this is affecting the culmination of world events
